About Clinic Ovis

One practice. Evidence-based care.

Clinic Ovis Psychological Group is a specialty psychology practice in El Cajon, California. We focus on what we do best: treating OCD, anxiety disorders, PTSD, and medical anxiety, and providing comprehensive psychological testing.

Our philosophy

Psychological care works best when it’s specific. Every condition we treat has therapies with strong research support behind them, and our commitment is simple: you receive the treatment the evidence says works, delivered by clinicians trained to provide it, with your progress measured along the way.
